Chimps and other great apes should be
recognised and protected as 鈥渉eritage species鈥� in the same way that the Taj
Mahal is recognised as a heritage site, says the International Primatological

confers World Heritage status on sites of outstanding natural or cultural value,
to do the same for great apes. All sites can be given emergency assistance if
they are in danger. IPS president Toshisada Nishida says that without special
conservation efforts, great apes 鈥渨ill be extinct in 20 years鈥�.
